Is there no decent Edinburgh arenas? 

Confusing grammar aside. No. The Highland Centre holds less than 10k for concerts so its not worth it. Murrayfield is the biggest stadium but similar issues to any other outdoor arena in Scotland. 

Punk obviously still has a lot of grievances and talks a lot of hypocritical shite. His mistake is to air them personally where it can be seen by everyone. If he was as smart as he thinks he is he would air all his grievances through Meltzer, get him to say "Sources close to the situation have told me he only choked Jack Perry a little bit" for example and then he would have some deniability. Then everyone would think he was great and not the ridiculous man child that he clearly is. 

Cody needs the win now or its getting a bit late stage NWO in WCW. Superb work again though. Roman fumbling his lines before the music hit was chrystal chlear. 

The Tuna Meltzer sign opposite the hard cam made me laugh. Starting to see a lot more non planted signs again. Not just the workers embracing the late 90s.

only The Acclaimed stuff being bad. These lads are fucking dead in the water right now.

Even the water is telling them to fuck off at the minute. They need some sort of revamp but I'm not sure what if I'm honest. 

I never knew how to spell the word cagoule always thought it was with a K. You are right though even in June you wouldn't chance an outdoor setup. 

That must be an April fools surely. 

After that Dazzler I wouldn't personally think it will be comfortable for either in the rematch. I think they will both learn a lot, and Fabio has more to learn than Fraze does but from where he started to where he is now Fabio is a different fighter. 

Wardley has said he wants the rematch so let's hope that it happens this year. 

The one thing it did make me think though was that this could be Boxxer's way into Saudi. Old Turki loves a Heavyweight tear up and I can definitely imagine him wanting the rematch either on a Saudi show or the proposed Wembley show in September. 

What is City Ham, or is that a question I don't want the answer to?

I'd rather see pub gladiators. Get a load of unfit, preferably chubby, people who reckon it's easy. Let's see them go!

That was Total Wipeout wasn't it. 

A cracking fight. Big Fraze showing more of a gas tank than he has in any of his previous fights. Both showed so much heart and determination. That's how much a British title should mean. I can't argue with a draw, I had Fabio up by a couple of points, but I am willing to admit a bias in that I wanted him to win. 

I've only caught the YouTube clip of BCC+Shibata v The Righteous+Archer which was a fun match from what I saw. The only real blemish was the ring announcer saying "Your winners by submission" after a clean pin in the middle of the ring. It didn't even look like a fucked up finish, so that's some bad work. 

Looking forward to it, hopefully it delivers. 

Fundora and Tsyu was a really enjoyable fight. As was Rolly getting battered by Cruz.

After a somewhat underwhleming last series, I think the new batch on Taskmaster all seem like they will be great value. Some great stuff on the first episode. A looking foward to what Steve Pemberton will do for this one.

It just goes to show how subjective comedy is. We all enjoyed the last series, they were a strange lot for sure. When Sue Perkins is the sanest one and you know she has had raspberry vodka blown up her arse by a shaman in a cleansing ritual you know you are in trouble. 

The new lot are great. Willan is going to be a wildcard. If you haven't watched the bonus interviews on YouTube then you should, they are very funny.

Yeah I know don't worry.

I'm just pleased he won't be making the spreadsheet.

Still in the Champions League aren't they?

Think you'll find it'll be their worst league finish for quite some time WAAAAHEEEEEEEEEEY.

I was talking about him personally not the team. 

Highest league finish since 16/17 is nothing to be sniffed at Rashers. 

Cacace is not a bad fighter. This will definitely be a step up for him and I think Cordina should win but its not a bad fight.

Doesn't help that Mercedes has never really been cut out for long promos. 

Or short ones. The microphone has never really been her friend has it. TK was hampered by her not been ready to wrestle in Boston and had backed himself into that corner. Once she gets going in the ring she should really get into her stride.

Louis Gosset Jr. A superb actor and a tremendous presence on screen.

Why wouldn't he do that though? He's the nicest man in the world.

He probably did it before he went out to beat up an Uso, when they were backstage filming for the new Cody documentary or taking fag breaks through the night.

All good.

I don't know about that Dazzler. You don't get a second chance to see something for the first time. First impressions always count, that's how I know Alistair McGowan is shit.

Sometimes, when you're wrong, you're wrong. You just have to apologise, set fire to the Cody bedsheets and buy a lot of bull related merchandise.

This is the greatest wrestling social media post of all time.

I wish he didn't use the word 'script', but fuck it. Put the belt on the big egg.

Amazing but there was one thing i saw that took me completely out of it. This is stupid on my part, of course I know its all part of the show, of course I know its planned down to the second but I like everyone else want to swept up in the moment because that is when wrestling is at its best. 

 I wish I hadn't seen it but my stupid brain saw it and immediately went "Cody must have put the awning out on his bus to keep the crew dry while they were filming" It's fucking stupid on my part but it fucked it for me. 

Speaking of Saudi cards, the undercard for Fury v Usyk if it happens. Opetaia v Breidis could be tasty.

Ezra Arenyeka who's fought mostly in Africa and Latin America. Based in Sale, though.

That man must have known some hard times because Sale is a shithole. 

Whittaker is a bellend but I've got no problem with him doing that dancing stuff, provided he does it to the world championship contenders and not just to the binmen and uber drivers he has fought so far. 

Is this a real boxer or a YouTube bellend? @wandshogun09 @Egg Shen @NeverYield @d-d-d-dAz do any of you guys know?

Fundora with a slight height advantage.
